An application is any program, or group of programs, that is designed for the end user. Application software can be divided into two general classes: systems software and applications software.

• Systems Software

System software is a type of computer program that is designed to run a computer's hardware and application programs. If we think of the computer system as a layered model, the system software is the interface between the hardware and user applications.

• Applications Software

Application software can be divided into two general classes: systems software and applications software. Applications software (also called end-user programs) include such things as database programs, word processors, Web browsers and spreadsheets.
